President of WHITE CANE, NGO (Yekaterinburg, Russia). White Cane is a non-profit public organization founded by visually impaired people in Yekaterinburg, Russia in 2010. We are seeking new approaches to rehabilitation and re-activation of people with disabilities. Our aim is to help and promote our community’s social and economic activities, and establish contacts with the world of ‘healthy’ people. We believe it very important for us to become self-sustained and independent both economically and in everyday life.
